Lol Gentry is nervous as fuck

Lol yes

Would love to see him work himself through the rest of the season, stay injury free and take the offseason to get shredded. Not sure what the fuck he’d weigh lol

Guessing 6’8 325 right now. Like to see him at 270

His listed weight is 270, which was too big to last

He’ll be a lot of fun when he gets his feet under him. His first basket he just out hustled everyone which is impressive for how fat he looks. 

That fast twitch underneath that fat is something 

I fear and think that he is this generations Bo Jackson, not two sports just the legendary unbelievable highlights

I am stunned he went 4/4 from deep. His shot is so flat. I still think that will be a major hindrance to his game, unless he gets some arc. Don’t see how a shot that flat and consistently go in from 23+ feet. But, 4/4 night one...damn.

His 3’s looked more of a traditional arc than his free throws. I thought they were super flat

What happened in 1983 to spike your interest?

im not overly excited either. I just can’t fathom someone on the worst team in the league (sans the Warriors who are missing their two best players) being a fucking starter. Do they follow the GG/FF/C formation? They could have still put in Ben Simmons or Jimmy Butler. 
 

On the positive side, how about Doncic and Siakam? Inject the Siakam story into my veins. Dude wasn’t playing ball until like 8 years ago, was hardly cracking Toronto’s lineup a couple years ago, to now a starter on the all star team.

Saw a stat on Twitter that Lebron could miss his next 3019 FGA and still have a higher career FG% than Kobe

Good lord, that’s incredible!

Don’t be true don’t be true

FUCK

Damn

Life is so damn cruel. His 3 daughters and wife...I can’t even fucking imagine. So, so sad. The NBA shot clock and 8-second violation tributes are getting to me.

I have a feeling this will be a league wide thing when all is said and done. 

I distinctly remember playing hoops in the driveway with a buddy as Shaq and Kobe when we were 8 or 9 years old. He seemed like a guy that would be around forever and has been very successful post-NBA. I feel horrible for his daughters. He seems to have been a great father to them. In the videos with him and Gianna, you can see how much he loved their relationship.

So they’re changing the scoring format of the all star game to honor Kobe....and I don’t really understand any of it.

I  understand it but it’s weird.

I just looked it up, as I would never have known had you not posted about it. It sounds interesting. 

It’s basically the Elam Ending that TBT uses. 

Anyone care to share what they're doing?
